Hmmm! You might have something there, Pat.

But I sort of wonder how ``unprincipled creationists" could've
misquoted Dr. Hooton in this particular instance since both of these
quotes appear verbatim in HIS book, ``Apes, Men and Morons."

Of course, maybe the ``unprincipled creationists" had an ``in'' with
either the publisher or the pressroom foreman.
